Why Pros LOVE Gekko.

Initiator has seen many different metas throughout the years, however one agent is 2024 has seen meteoric rise, and that is Gekko. Compared to champions last year to Kickoff, 4.5 times increase in use rate, which is an insane increase in pick rate. Here's why and how to play Gekko Effectively!

I love your editing style and pacing, the music choice also lets me feel relaxed while watching the whole video

[@munuoctopus3085]

This video is actually made so well. Underrated af!

[@valonerd_id]

Nice video! Thank you for your analysis. Keep up the good work!

[@telz8615]

Underrated channel, the quality is mind-boggling good ❤

[@macelioteixeira1461]

This is so well made, I expected you to have millions of subs, well done mate

[@diamondguy-xs4lg]

I’d say it’s mostly because gekko is the second hybrid initiator cuz for a long time Skye was the only hybrid initiator having a recon ability and an engaged based ability, and ever since the nerfs to Skye and buffs to gekko, he’s getting picked more, this is a trend I notice riot does whenever releasing agents. Example: Sova for a long time was the only recon initiator then as soon as fade was released she was the second recon initiator released and was bound to get equally picked as sova depending on team comps and scenarios

Bro i dont like these "deep e-sports" videos, but this one is edited so well. Subscribed + liked. Keep it up 🔥

Can’t wait for yall to get nerfed 😂

gekko is my fave agent, best initator

so true tho

[@forbandyson8921]

After so many rounds of Skye nerfs, I'm beginning to think this is true now

[@riddikulus1432]

Lol how?

[@droptlol]

@@forbandyson8921Kayo is better but yes gekko is good

[@Requiz.]

Dude at start barely anyone played him in pro , said he's bad for initiating but I played him, and now he meta

[@mikeyfreeman5776]

Yeah cause they buffed him multiple times and nerfed skye into the dirt

[@grumpydragon8934]

@@mikeyfreeman5776 but can you reallllyyyy be mad that gekkos crew are now godly

[@gxalcremieshiny4229]

@@grumpydragon8934 I mean kinda?
I just think reclaiming his crew should put a longer cooldown, cuz 10 seconds is INSANE

[@grumpydragon8934]

​@gxalcremieshiny4229 Fair but that is leaving out the process of having to get to the buddies and be safe enough to reclaim them, so its more like 20

[@diamondguy-xs4lg]

I honestly don’t get why pro players say he’s bad, he’s literally the equivalent of Skye but weaker at the time, until Skye was nerfed gekko became the initiator pick for his flash (dizzy) and his recon (thrash)

[@tylerrobblee8038]

After finishing the video my only take away…. I hope you have more videos like this :D

[@guffy3393]

The king is back ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

[@MangolordFoo]

underated as hell pls do more gids

[@jozzxiv8291]

that music is incredible bruv

[@kondsiccMusic]

Spotted a couple of mistakes at 04:12 onwards - it might not be what you're intended to say but the wording makes people misunderstand: The viper smoke and the brim smokes are from 100T and not LEV, which in no ways should be helping the Gekko utils (however it coincidentally does). It is best to not acknowledge those enemy utils as support for LEV utils.
Overall though, solid video and I'm really happy to learn some more stuff about gekko.

[@itz_nuyen5504]

Ty for this video❤

[@dyvyby]

Double initiator strats go hard in competitive play

[@crimefnr]

great video

[@gamist8166]

Woooo down with the skye meta!!

[@Applems]

love the videos

[@IYIisterJacky]

Amazing video and analyzing, but it would be better at least imo if the volume was higher.

[@ZappyIsKey]

9:07 Outlaw was misspelled, it says outlow lol

[@razcanada4944]

I love the saxophone in the bg as a musician myself, but next time turn it down a little, i cant hear you talk clearly

[@davidly2786]

Moshpit should b able to b pickup like all others gekko abilities

[@mathieu2723]

very god video tf

[@porcupine14yo]

Are you sure that dizzy throws "ink"??

[@Dark-gz6us]

Good video, but the music was quite loud. Try to measure it down next video so I can hear your voice.

[@khoido7357]

Yo this guy plays league!!

[@Zeha1r]

As a guekko main I can tell that there's even more that U haven't covered and also that wingman is almost always better to not plant.

Whenever Gekko flashes, I just accept my death.

7:53 finally someone pronounce monyet right

[@enyaliosval7157]

Close but no cigar. He pronounced it as “mon-nyet”. It should be “mo-nyet”.

[@lemao4944]

CGRS

[@user-ji4kr6ol9x]

In short: they don't. Gekko used cause skye is nerfed heavily

[@jailb]

Thrash cool down needs a 20 second cool down

[@Arnavag31]

Yall think this much while playing damnn i just throw the flash and mindlessly play and lose (im iron 1)

[@jujuisdead]

such a strategy based game n i play like its a deathmatch in comp
😭😭

[@zeemouu]

i fw the music, but can you turn it down a bit. its a little difficult to hear what ur tryna say

[@homieslayer7384]

That's why there's subtitles 😭

[@Keeby.]

​@@homieslayer7384 I think they sound fine its not that loud but having subtitles isnt a good excuse for trash audio mixing

[@EDGKangKang]

i’m not trying to hate but the mention of the skye nerfs that actually mattered hard weren’t even mentioned in this video and that’s like that biggest reason.

[@firegaming6662]

bgm sucks but great breakdown

[@Dani13G]

no one loves gekko, it just got buffed and Skye got nerfed into the ground
